YAML Analyzer

YAML Analyzer focuses on syntax correctness, structural integrity, and policy conformance for YAML files used across CI pipelines and config manifests. It ingests YAML content, optionally a JSON Schema, and outputs a structured report with syntax status, detected issues, and actionable recommendations. Conceptually, it parses the document, checks for duplicate keys, validates against schemas, and computes quality metrics based on complexity and rule adherence. The tool is valuable to developers, SREs, and platform teams who gate changes in PRs or builds. Unique value lies in combining schema-backed validation with structural metrics and exportable reports suitable for CI integration, enabling faster feedback loops and improved configuration reliability. Core features include syntax validation, duplicate-key detection, optional schema validation, anomaly detection in anchors/aliases, and a configurable rule engine for quality checks. Use cases include Kubernetes manifests, CI workflow definitions, and cloud configuration files. The tool emphasizes repeatable, auditable checks that align with team standards and compliance policies.
